This three part film follows Phoebe Caldwell as she works with children who she has never met before and who have been selected because staff find them difficult to engage. It charts their journey from initial rejection to intimate interaction. Together with Penny Mytton, a teacher at the school where the film takes place, Phoebe demonstrates how, by using the child’s own body language and sounds to create a ‘language’ that they recognize, a ‘conversation’ can be developed with children who are unable to use conventional communicative methods. To give context to the approach, Phoebe explores the nature of sensory difficulties associated with autism with GP Matt Hoghton, Clinical Champion in Learning Disabilities at the Royal College of General Practitioners. The film concludes with an uncut intervention between Phoebe and eight-year-old Jamie, showing how Intensive Interaction enables the brain to work more effectively and increase social responsiveness to a level that is rewarding for everyone involved.
This unique and inspiring training film will be of interest to all professionals working with hard-to-reach autistic children, and will also help parents and carers to connect with those on the spectrum.

This video includes an hour-long interview with Peter Jenkins, carried out by Judith Mulcahy on the issues relating to confidentiality in therapeutic work with children and young people in school settings. This is a complex topic, but Peter conveys some key messages about the value of this counselling with force and clarity. The interview covers a broad range of issues which will be of direct value to practitioners in this challenging field, whether as therapists, trainers, lecturers, managers or supervisors. The video is divided into the following chapters for ease of accessing specific material:

Ethical issues in working with children and young people

Good practice for counselling in schools

Information-sharing and child protection

Disclosures of abuse and pre-trial therapy

Data protection and access to records of therapy by the courts, police and solicitors

Access to records of therapy by parents and children

Therapy as a 'confidential space'

Some of the key themes discussed throughout, which will be relevant for practitioners, include:

Legal issues relating to privacy and confidentiality

Rights of parents to give or withhold permission for counselling

Teachers acting in loco parentis

Data protection issues and recording

Access to records by children, parents and courts

Responding to child protection and safeguarding concerns

Peter provides a strong case for building and maintaining high levels of confidentiality in therapeutic work with children and young people, based on research findings and on recent case law. The video also includes discussion of three realistic case examples, provided by Blanka Hubena, which are drawn from counseling practice. The cases relate to the following areas:

Case 1: Assessing risk and making referrals to mental health services

Case 2: The rights of children and young people to confidentiality and privacy

How can counseling be tailored to address the particular capabilities of children’s brains when under duress?
This film answers these questions by proposing two dramatic paradigm shifts from common social and emotional skills interventions. First, it invites counselors to broaden their focus from bullying prevention to developing a wealth of social and emotional skills in all children. Second, it proposes a new way of boosting children’s skills; this approach is inspired by new research in neurobiology, mindfulness, and narrative practices that emphasizes how children’s brains develop, learn, and change through experience.
Packed with interviews with educators, consultants, and children of all ages, this title contains a thought-provoking theoretical backdrop, followed by footage of non-scripted live sessions in one second and one fourth grade classroom. Several life-transforming activities, metaphors, and experiences are illustrated and explained, and examples are provided of cultural practices that foster the development of communities of considerate children.
